35a. Allah is the Light
of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His Light is as a niche
wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining
star. (This lamp is) kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the
East nor of the West,

Commentary
Mishkaat – (niche, hollow in a wall for statue or lamp
etc.)
Zujaajatu – (glass on the lamp to maximize the light,
wax cylinder with wick used as a light),
Durriyyun (shining, like a pearl), this word is
related to durrun, which means “a pearl”).
It was admonished to the human beings in the verses before this
that they should keep their inward qualities and outward appearance separate
from stenches; and clear from impure thoughts, and should not make the society disturbed
and turbid by their words and works. After that, it was commanded: We have
revealed very clear and shining verses in Holy Qur’an for the guidance
of the mankind. There are much advice and admonition for all human beings in
those verses. But only those people will reap advantage from them who ward off
evil and abstain from indecency due to fear of Allaah Almighty.
It has been commanded in this verse: Know your Creator “Allaah
Almighty”. If you wish to imagine concerning Him then you should consider it as
He is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His Light has been spreading all
around. The thing which is visible; is seen by the help of His Light only,
otherwise nothing can be seen but darkness only. You can understand His Light from
this similitude that there is niche wherein a lamp has been burning. The lamp has
been covered in a glass. This lamp is being kindled by the oil of a blessed tree,
named Olive. This oil does never finish and it is of such olive which does
neither exist quite in the East and nor quite in the West. But it is at such
place where benefit of both sides has been reaching it. It has been prospering
morn and evening in open air and light. There is neither so much heat that it may
be dry and nor there is so cold that it may fade.
